Shoei-Multitec Modular Helmet
This helmet is comfortable, user friendly, and I would recommend it. The only thing lacking would be a pull down sun shield. That being the case though, if I thought I really needed one of those, I would have bought a different helmet. You really don't know HOW good a helmet is though, until you crash. So, that being the case, I hope this thing will stand up to real punishment if and when, that time ever came. I have faith in it though. Sure looks cool! Have fun, Ride, and Stay Alive!

Very good helmet. Quieter than I expected. Had heard that the modular helmets were nosier but this one is not that much nosier.

Excellent Helmet
Very nice look. Fits nicely. Flip up feature of both the visor and helmet work very well.

Thanks Shoei
I bought this helmet to fit over my prescription glasses, and it does that perfectly. My standard helmet hurt when I wore my glasses. This does what it's meant to do, that is make flipping the face up easy, and the air vents REALLY come in handy on a hot day. Real quality all the way around!

Great helmet
This is a great helmet. Both my husband (wine:med.) and I (white:XS)ordered one. Fit is perfect. We love the advantages this modular has to offer. It stays locked in the open position. We can stop & talk to each other, eat or drink without having to take off the helmets. Great vent system. Helmets stayed cool on the hottest/humid days. I really like that XS comes with an XS shell. It's not an XL shell w/additional padding to made it fit an XS head...like other brands (one shell fits all). Pricey, but you're paying for quality & features mentioned above.

Finally Bought a Shoei
I have tried many helmets trying to find the best low cost modular (flip) helmet (since I wear glasses). I have the Vega, Summit,Zeus and I realize after receiving the Shoei - You get what you pay for. No comparison on the fit, weight, operation, and finish. Of course the Shoei Multitec Modular costs about 2 to 3 times more than the cheaper helmets and they are adequate but if you want the most comfort for the long ride, get the Shoei. After all, it is only your head you are trying to protect. Wear a helmet and ride safe.

Shoei - Multitec Modular Helmet
A wonderful Shoei helmet. I fill hot when my bike is at slow speeds or stop at traffic, but it be OK when picking up speed. The helmet is fit for my head. When speed over 80 km/h have noise. Overall I enjoy it.

Shoei - Multitec Modular Helmet
Upgraded from an HJC AC-11. The Shoei is lighter and has a much better fit. Also I went from a large to a medium size. I am sure this helped with the weight but the shell is also smaller. It fits in the saddlebags of my BMW R1200RT better and allows me to put additional items in the bag. The main reason I changed helmets was to have an easier time putting my glasses on after putting on the helmet. That is now a piece of cake. I no longer get the ear piece on the wrong side of my ear or have my ear getting pressed against the ear piece. I also wanted more room for my autocom speakers to fit in the helmet. I haven't installed them yet but it looks like I will have more room. The only negative is the wind noise.

This is a nice helmet; I purchased two, one for my wife and one for myself. They fit nice, and have nice features. I am pleased with the helmets.

Great Helmet!
I'd recommend this helmet to anyone. The fit is great. It does fog a bit on cool mornings but that is solved by slightly opening a visor. I'm very pleased with it.

Shoei Multitec Modular Helmet
The fit and finish of this helmet is apparent immediately. It's snug without being claustrophobic. The padding is exceptionally impressive...and having an eyeglasses stem channel cut into the foam is very, very smart! Side vision is very good, although I seem to have to turn my head a little more than with my old helmet to look behind me prior to changing lanes. The vents work very well. At first wearing, I was concerned that I'd be overheating in such a protective shell; it was not the case. The air intake system works so well that after a while you're not aware of it. The lower front air intake is especially good at reducing fogging. I learned to adjust the helmet so that I'm less likely to create lens fog. In motion, the lens clears right up. At a stop light, some fog may gather--so I just pop the lid a bit and it goes away. I would recommend this helmet to other riders without reservation and with great enthusiasm.

Very nice helmet. Noisier than a non-modular helmet, but equal perceived noise levels with earplugs. Very easy to open and close with one hand on the go. I drink from a camelback on long trips and I can open the helmet enough to take a drink from the bite valve without impairing my vision. I am very satisfied overall.

This is one helmet that did not have any pressure points on it from the get go. The helmet is very quiet and comfortable.

Great Helmet
Definitely superior in quality & workmanship, the fit could use some improvement as could it's durability, after a minor bump the screen hinge came undone requiring the purchase of a $19 part.

helmet review
Helmet is top end. From the first ride I noticed the difference instantly. The helmet was far better then I had imagined. Easy on, easy off. Looks just like regular full face helmet, not oversized or bulky. I'd buy it all over again.

Shoei Multitec Modular Helmet
This is a fabulous helmet for the money. Comfort, protection and visibility are my needs. I ordered the yellow. Hardly any noise is an added attraction, plus being able to easily put my sunglasses into it. After riding it does not put stress on my neck and shoulder. I honestly can't think of anything negative for this helmet.

One Terrific Helmet
It's one of the quietest helmets I've ever worn. Wind cuts right past with almost no drift of buffeting. Shield fogging is minimal. The only feature I found wanting is an internal sun shade like the one in the Schuberth C2. Otherwise this is by far the best helmet I've ever worn and it's the one I find myself reaching for when going for a ride. Well done, Shoei!

Looks like a winner
I just received my light silver multitec. I feel compelled to write this review because the Multitec looks and feels first rate. The fit and finish are superb. It fit me right out of the box. I love the fact that I can use my CX-IV RF1000 shield on the multitec. The flip-open and close mechanism works very well and can be operated with just one hand. It seems very light especially compared to other modular helmets. Unfortunately, because of inclement weather, I haven't been able to take it out y
